3062 Someone Even Sister Nian Has to Take Off Her Cap For
He could not imagine Elder Qian"s achievements.
Master Cheng saw his surprise, smiled, and said with yearning, "It"s normal you don"t know him. Elder Qian and Old Master Wei are from the same era. The masters of that era weren"t like us juniors who chased after fame and profit. Many of them hid their ident.i.ties for their entire lives for the country and repaid their talents to the country. Compared to them, what am I?!"
He spoke as if he had returned to the glorious days of the past and yearned for the era where there were more great talents.
"Elder Qian"s achievements in atomic energy have long surpa.s.sed the world"s cutting-edge level. He"s a unique existence. Otherwise, why do you think the world-renowned Black Weapon Master Smith admitted defeat when he saw him, almost like a mouse seeing a cat?
"But he didn"t lose out! If Elder Qian can clear his doubts over a cup of tea, it"s better than him studying for a few years."
He wished he could replace Smith and have a cup of tea with Elder Qian.
Bo Jingxing looked at Master Cheng"s excited expression as he talked about Elder Qian"s life and immediately understood the old man"s origins.
In the past, there was indeed a group of scientists who hid their ident.i.ties. For the country"s prosperity, many of their top-notch research results were not announced to the public. They used their life"s gains to give back to their beloved country without reservation.
This spirit alone was worthy of Master Cheng and the others calling them masters respectfully.
Bo Jingxing looked at the girl and instantly understood why Qiao Nian had taken off her baseball cap and bowed upon seeing the old man. This was her silent respect for a master of the older generation. This respect was greater than all the fancy flattery and fawning.
She used her own way to express her admiration for Elder Qian.
He lowered his head and raised the frame of his gla.s.ses with a smile. "I didn"t expect her to have this much respect for someone."
"What?" Master Cheng was confused.
Bo Jingxing looked at him with a gentle and harmless smile. "It"s nothing. I"m just lamenting that Master w.a.n.g could actually invite Elder Qian."
As expected, Master Cheng"s attention was diverted. He looked in Ye w.a.n.gchuan"s direction and clicked his tongue. "That"s right. I didn"t expect him to get Elder Qian to come. Elder Qian came personally to give a gift. With this alone, it"s made it the most exciting coming-of-age ceremony in Beijing in the past few decades."
Bo Jingxing did not comment. Together with Master Cheng, he turned his gaze to Qiao Nian and the others, paying special attention to the handsome man.
The corners of his lips curled up and he laughed.
Master w.a.n.g probably wanted this unparalleled favoritism from the beginning!

First, Feng Yu and Xie Tingyun pushed the cake to the front.
Then, Smith and Elder Qian came bearing gifts.
Today"s birthday banquet was destined to be remembered by the celebrities in Beijing for the rest of their lives.
Even after the birthday banquet ended, many people were unwilling to leave.
Jiang Zongnan and the others were only qualified to go to the main table to look for Old Master Jiang when they saw Jiang Li, who was also arranged to be at the main table.
Jiang Zongnan was a little reserved. "How are we going to leave later? Are you going back with me?"
Jiang Li put one hand on the back of the chair and turned to see his father and brother surrounded by a group of relatives. His smile froze before he looked away and brushed the hair on his forehead. "I drove here. I"ll send Grandpa back to the sanatorium later."
